This book of short stories is dedicated to my hometown of Jacksboro,

Texas, the cradle of all my dreams—place of early and enduring life les-

sons from home, church, school, friends, and foes that shaped my destiny.

To a road, the Jacksboro Highway, leading to Fort Worth and TCU, the cen-

ter of a larger universe. To a steel-jawed, jug-headed range horse named

Billy whose bone-jarring trot took me across the wide and wild prairies of

Jack County, daydreaming about who I wanted to become.
